Many items sometimes defy an obvious purpose but the museum always appears to know. It's fair to say, however, the sacredness of Chinese painting, in the past anyway, intentionally included beautiful tools to help create the beautiful artwork, so it made perfect sense to have a brush cleaner that's a delight to view as well as use.
